THE PEOPLE WHO DESERVE OUR SERVICE
12:56:26 2023-07-16 1300

Islam's stand has been made clear in regard of service. Anybody who deserves our help should be helped. Islam has spelled out who are the persons who deserve it. It is natural that a man has an inborn attachment towards his parents, his wife, his children and kith and kins. On the basis of this attachment, he feels it obligatory to serve them. He does not feel the same sort of emotional attachment towards other people. So his attitude towards them is different. Islam defines the rights with due provisions to the nature, degree and rank of human relationship. Along with this, Islam exhorts that a man should not only serve those who are attached to him but also those who are in no way attached to him. The ambit of his service should not be confined to his family but should be wide enough to encompass the entire society. He should consider all men as belonging to one family and thus prepare himself to help this family. One Ayah of Sura AI-Nisa points out in brevity the people who deserve out help:

Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbours who are near, neighbours who are strangers , the companions by your side, the wayfarers (you meet), and what your hands possess, for Allah loves not the arrogant and the vainglorious. [Al-Nisa : 36]

Though this Ayah does not list all the deprived and debilitated sections of society it helps us in understanding the attitude of Qur'an towards them. For the word service Qur'an uses a particular term 'Ihsan'. It is a comprehensive term and it covers all aspects of service. Sympathy, love, fulfilling one's needs, and giving one more than his right, all these come under this term.
